Procrastination

"I became an afternoon writer when I had afternoons.  When I was able to write full-time, I used to spend the morning procrastinating and worrying, then plunge into the manuscript in a frenzy of anxiety around 3:00 p.m. when it looked as though I might not get anything done... the fact is that blank pages inspire me with terror.  What will I put on them?  Will it be good enough  Will I have to throw it out?  And so forth. I suspect most writers are like this."

--Margaret Atwood
